I have listened to this song like 100 times since yesterday. The guitar solo and outro work is just one of the greatest guitar pieces I have ever heard. Daniele Gottardo playing Jason Becker's writing note for note with so much soul and passion. My god, it brings tears to my eyes. Wow. It may be cheese, it may not be your cup of tea, but it is written and played note for note not by himself, but his respected musician friends. Would love to hear Jason play it, but Daniele absolutely killed it. using Jason's ax, rack and peddles, and amps. Jason is alive through Danieles fingers.

His bio is pretty amazing, and the fact that he has "beaten" ALS for as long as he has is amazing as well. I'm listening to Xmas music 100 times a day, and mourning Roy Clark by YouTube bingeing Hee Haws...but that song is great, have to find that doc on him and watch.

I met him at the Aragon BRAWLroom back in, yikes, 1988 or 89 or something with Yngwie Malmsteen, Marty Friedman and Paul Gilbert. He was like a kid that was taking everything in and just happy to be there. He never took the guitar off him, it was like his security blanket. Extremely nice and funny. Did not fit in with metal heads. He playing was so so good and he could play it all.

Have not seen Mike Mangini play the drums until this video. What a complete waist of motion with the symbols and other drums over his head. I am not a fan of his drumming and now I see why. Drop that **** down and stop with the "oh look at me my symbols are over my head, look at me look at me!" showmanship. Just play the drums. That is what Portnoy did, and that is why he is a legend and sadly missed in Dream Theater.

You are confusing me... are you using "waist" and "symbols" with a deeper, insider meaning?...kind of like using capiTal letters?
